Is it me or do these engines make some noises? At a stop light there is ticking of different tones going on! I am usually paranoid coming off of years of Honda ST1100/1300's. Help me understand.
Yup, Blue is unquestionably the quietest color, as well.ColoRider said:It's the yellow paint Jeff!!!

Skidplates in general tend to funnel extra noise up at the rider, especially if the plate is relatively big.Tiger_one said:Mine was pretty quiet till I installed the H&B skidplate, now it has some harmonics and echos little noises back at me. Sorta like being in a 55 gallon drum.
funny you should mention it. I just thinking the same thing about my ST1300, and that motor was the smoothest sounding that I ever heard.HoebSTer said:Is it me or do these engines make some noises?

No..no..no. It's the color. Didn't you know that yellow makes everything louder. ::014::HoebSTer said:Is it me or do these engines make some noises? At a stop light there is ticking of different tones going on! I am usually paranoid coming off of years of Honda ST1100/1300's. Help me understand.
You have it backwards. Blue makes this bike "quieter", not the other way around.Koinz said:No..no..no. It's the color. Didn't you know that yellow makes everything louder. ::014::
